ADLINK CPCI-6910AM-M1G 6U Dual Core Xeon CompactPCI Universal SBC
ADLINK CPCI-6910AM-M1G 6U Dual Core Xeon CompactPCI Universal SBC
Product Introduction / Overview
The ADLINK CPCI-6910AM-M1G is an industrial-grade, high-performance 6U CompactPCI Single Board Computer (SBC) powered by an Intel Dual-Core Xeon processor. Built for mission-critical automation, defense systems, telecommunications, and heavy industrial processing, the board provides multi-threaded processing power coupled with robust thermal management and extensive front/rear I/O connectivity.
Featuring universal system/peripheral slot compatibility, the CPCI-6910 series enables dual-system control capabilities across standard PICMG 2.0 backplanes while maintaining shock and vibration resistance required in extreme environments.

Operating Instructions
Pre-Installation Alignment: Inspect the backplane J1–J5 pin headers on the 6U rack to ensure no bent pins or debris exist before mounting.
Card Insertion: Slide the CPCI-6910AM-M1G into the designated system master or peripheral slot along the guide rails.
Ejector Handle Lock: Firmly press the top and bottom red-button ejector handles inward until the board fully seats into the backplane connectors. Tighten the retaining screws.
BIOS Setup: Access the system BIOS by pressing DEL or F2 at boot up to configure boot priority (CompactFlash, PMC storage, or PXE Network Boot).
Fault Diagnosis
| Symptom / LED State | Potential Cause | Solution / Diagnostic Action |
| POST LED Off / Blank | Backplane power supply failure or seating mismatch. | Verify +5V, +3.3V, and +12V rail outputs from the rack power supply; reseat card. |
| Status LED Solid Red | Processor overheating or watchdog timeout. | Clean intake fan filters; inspect CPU heatsink compound and thermal dissipation. |
| No Display via VGA | Video memory allocation issue or jumper configuration error. | Check BIOS display output settings; test with a secondary RAM module. |
| PXE Boot Fails | Network controller initialization timed out. | Verify LAN link speed LEDs on the front panel and confirm PICMG 2.16 routing settings. |
